Direct evidence that ventral forebrain cells migrate to the cortex and contribute to the generation of cortical myelinating oligodendrocytes
Article Abstract:
Using a study on mouse embryos, the fact that some of the total myelinating oligodendrocytes found in the cortex originate from ventral forebrain, is analyzed.
